Capacity to report on food safety enhanced in China

Over one hundred Chinese local journalists have strengthened their skills to professionally report about food safety and food security issues thanks to a capacity building activity that was part of a recently-concluded three-year project on “Improving Nutrition, Food Safety and Food Security for China’s Most Vulnerable Women and Children”.

The project has been supported by the MDG-Fund and developed in the aftermath of major food safety incidents, such as the poisoning of milk infant formula adulterated with melamine, which reportedly caused 54,000 children sick (source: WHO).
